    I just realized that this is some sort of prostitution ring offering a "Extreme sportsman with retro elements". The press says so.

    Pressurised by the Eaton R2300 compressor with up to 0.72 bar, this "PRIMITIVE" engine gets up to 647 HP and a maximum torque of 823Nm.

    Isn't it about time we accepted that GM's pushrod technology is in no way inferior to an OHC setup?

    Peak HP and Torque numbers don't really translate where the rubber meets the road. I'll take marginal gains throughout the rev range over a significant peak increase. Of course, when you've already got "incinerate at will" type power adding more is a bit indulgent.

    I'll tell you what though, I'd never do this to a ZR1, even if it was free. I'd no sooner add a "high performance breaking system" to a Corvette than I'd put a "Sure Fire" brand battery in a Lamborghini.

    So, for what I am sure is a horrifying price premium, they took a perfectly good Corvette and made it ugly. There's a point where top speed is completely irrelevant -- that seems to be the case here. I, for one, really do not give a shit how fast I could hypothetically go if I was allowed to drive at Talladega. On top of that, I'm sure there's a fair fuel-consumption hit for that extra power, too.

    As much as I hate Geiger's cosmetic works, this is one of the least offensive, despite the horrifying rear, which reminds me of a C4 Corvette for some reason.

    I'm trying to decide which one's worse. The Gulf Hummer?

    Geiger's like the German branch of Galpin Ford or something.

    @Pessimipposaurus: I thought nothing could look bad in Gulf or Martini livery. I thought you could paint a turd orange and blue, and it would look suddenly awesome. You sir, have proved me wrong.

    @skaycog - Got Beer?: Skaycog, you know we have love for the GT40. I just about tripped over my tongue when I saw the one they have at Imperial Palace in Vegas. Gulf livery, naturally. I tried to explain the awesomeness to my good-natured wife, who walked through the whole exhibit with me, but my head almost asploded, so I stopped.

    I will add an image, just to help everyone recover from that H2.

    I'd rather have a monster bursting out of my chest.

    If all they can offer is sloth and styling, they can keep it. The base 'Vette is a performance bargain, the ZR1 is icing on a really, really great cake. This is just dumb.

    I think "tuning" companies, like this one, should show dynamo-meter sheets rather than just peak HP numbers. A good power band is better than 100 more peak HP.
